Good info. I'd add that the late night is the best time to go.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
